> with LITERAL we already skip through the larger data pieces yes Literal with IMAP and BDAT would be good examples to follow. However because standards allow various combinations in syntax, all these need to be taken care of in every server implementation. these features made perfect sense back in the day however things moved on quite a bit since '90s. why not make the format as simple as possible to prepare, deliver and display - given the advances in technology? maybe even give an extra thought to preventing spam - if this is possible.. _______________________________________________ Imap-protocol mailing list [email protected] http://mailman13.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/imap-protocol
